Lemon Squares

My first thought was that this isn't very local, but in the end it's just the sugar and the lemons... not too bad to make once a year. Everyone loves these. They don't keep well, but they don't usually hang around long enough for that to be a problem.

Mix the sugar and salt into the flour. Cut the butter in until it is the size of small peas. Mix in the water until the mixture shows signs of sticking together and forming a mass of dough. At this point I find it easiest to finish mixing it by hand. Press the dough evenly over the bottom of a 9" x 13" baking pan.
